Cheshire is exciting almost as much interest "s
Glasgow The Cladstonians are making inc creates
efforts TO carry it and believe to-day they Will
succeed. As the seat was last held by Laper"'
Unionist, the triumph of Gadstonan would be
an important event and strengthen thc growing
conviction that the cause of Home Rule is gaining
steadily i'm all parts of the Kingdom. A week
